The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

But then she thought about it again, and Qiao Xinxin couldn't help but smile.

All the good things in the space now truly belong to her!

It has to be said that Qiao Shouguo, that old man, is quite capable; he managed to amass such a large fortune.

You have to understand that in the early 1980s, many people were still struggling to get enough to eat and wearing clothes that were patched up all over, but the Qiao family had already equipped themselves with all sorts of new home appliances!

With so many good things, she could settle down comfortably in the military and live a happy life as a wealthy young woman!

After thinking it over, Qiao Xinxin's regret about not being able to steal the passbook vanished instantly.

As for the money that Qiao Shouguo was about to withdraw from the bank, she didn't plan to touch it anymore.

Being a thief, stealing once is good luck, but stealing twice in a row is just asking for trouble.

If the life-saving money that Qiao Shouguo just retrieved were to disappear again, it would be too obvious. Even if the Qiao family were incredibly stupid, they couldn't possibly fail to realize that there was a traitor within their ranks.

The Qiao family has no evidence whatsoever. They would never imagine that a frail 20-year-old girl could move a refrigerator and television weighing several hundred kilograms in one night. So she is perfectly safe now.

But if she loses money now, she'll be the first one suspected!

Knowing when to stop is the wise thing to do.

After Qiao Shouguo left, Qin Fangfang had no choice but to pull herself together and, with Qiao Lijun and Qiao Mingzhu, begin to painstakingly clean up the mess inside and outside the house.

Not long after, Qiao Shouguo came running back, clutching a roll of money he had just withdrawn, sweating profusely.

"Quick! Fangfang, take the money and go buy the wedding supplies! The guests will be arriving at noon!"

Time was too short, and they couldn't buy everything they needed. Besides, they had just been robbed, so Qiao Shouguo only had a limited amount of money left. They could only grit their teeth and make do.

Qin Fangfang ran herself ragged, but all she managed to buy were a few cheap red "double happiness" characters, two large paper red lanterns, and two strings of firecrackers.

I also bought a few more pounds of pork and some of the cheapest fruit candies, melon seeds, and peanuts.

All the Zhonghua cigarettes, Moutai liquor, and White Rabbit milk candy that were originally prepared have vanished!

The Zhou family didn't smash anything in the courtyard, and Qiao Xinxin didn't touch anything they had arranged.

Qin Fangfang then instructed Qiao Lijun to go to the neighbor's house in the compound and shamelessly borrow several large round tables and more than a dozen long benches, which were used to set up a table in the yard.

Invitations have long been distributed throughout the compound and among relatives and friends. According to local custom, even when a bride is getting married, her family must arrange a banquet at noon to entertain her relatives and friends.

What's more, the wedding is now being held directly at the bride's parents' home!

Just thinking about this made Qin Fangfang's heart ache with anger!

But no matter how she looked around, her house was a complete mess, and there wasn't even anyone she could vent her anger on!

She turned her head fiercely, intending to retaliate against Qiao Xinxin, but upon closer inspection—

Qiao Xinxin was not idle at all!

She was busy with her sleeves rolled up, helping to move stools, wipe tables, and paste paper-cut window decorations on the windows. She was working hard, with a layer of fine sweat on her forehead. She was so well-behaved and sensible that it was unbelievable!

Watching Qiao Xinxin's busy figure, Qin Fangfang felt uneasy, as if she had swallowed a fly.

What a menace!

She's usually so pampered at home, never doing a thing, but with such a big thing happening at home today, she's suddenly become very diligent!

This left her seething with anger, yet she couldn't find a single fault to vent it on!

"Mom, this table is cleaned. Do you think it's okay to put it here?" Qiao Xinxin turned her head and showed an extremely obedient smile.

"Fine, fine! Get back to your work!" Qin Fangfang rolled her eyes at her, then turned to look out the door, tearing at her hair in distress.

With relatives and friends arriving for lunch soon, how is she going to explain this whole "changing groom" thing to everyone?!

Sigh... What a tragedy!

Qin Fangfang pulled Qiao Shouguo to a corner. The couple were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They discussed it in hushed tones for a long time, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and decide: to change the names on the red welcome paper at the gate of the courtyard today to their son Qiao Lijun and Qiao Mingzhu's names!

It was almost noon.

Relatives and comrades from the compound arrived one after another, carrying congratulatory gifts.

The invitations clearly stated that it was for the wedding banquet of "Mr. Zhou Liguang and Ms. Qiao Mingzhu". But when everyone arrived at the gate of the Qiao family compound and looked up, they were all dumbfounded!

On the large red wedding notice posted at the door, the groom's name was written in bold strokes—"Qiao Lijun"!

What the heck?!

Qiao Lijun?!

"Hey, Lao Li, am I seeing things? Whose name is that on that sign?"

"No... if the man is Qiao Lijun, then who is the woman?"

"Wow! It says below, it's still Qiao Mingzhu!"

"My goodness! My fourth maternal aunt! Aren't these two siblings? They grew up eating from the same pot!"

"What's going on... Where's that Zhou family kid?"

Relatives and friends stood at the door, looking at each other in bewilderment, the red cloth bundles they were carrying almost falling to the ground.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to ask a question out loud.

I dare not ask. Who the hell would dare to ask that?!

This is too weird!

Qin Fangfang had been waiting at the door for a while. Seeing everyone's horrified expressions, she could only grit her teeth, put on a brave face, and force a smile that looked worse than crying as she led them into the courtyard.

"Oh, Sister Wang, please come in, please come in!"

"Fangfang... is there a mistake on the red paper at the door?" A straightforward relative finally couldn't help but point to the door frame.

Qin Fangfang's face instantly turned a deep purple, like a pig's liver. She forced a dry laugh and said, "No, no mistake... There was a slight mishap, and about Xiao Zhou... oh well, anyway, these two kids are just meant to be, so the names were changed. Everyone, come in and sit down, come in and have some sunflower seeds!"

Her lips trembled from laughing. Although her relatives and friends were welcomed into the courtyard, the strange, almost tangible gazes they cast were like knives stabbing into Qin Fangfang's spine, making her feel as if her face was burning hot!

Don't be fooled by their casual laughter; what kind of shrewd people are they?

After such an absurd "sibling marriage" happened, who knows what they'll say about it and how they'll criticize the Qiao family behind their backs!

Qin Fangfang hid behind the door and slapped herself hard across the face, tears welling up in her eyes.

What terrible things did she do in her past lives to raise such an ingrate like Qiao Mingzhu, who seduces her own brother?!

If she had known... if she had known that this shameful incident would happen today, she should have been ruthless and sent Qiao Mingzhu back to the Bai family in the countryside when she found out that the babies had been switched at birth!
